The large area of industrial property to the north east is privately owned and is primarily pasture land. Two other single family homes on larger tracts are adjacent to the east. A little further east is a mobile home park containing some 40 single wide manufactured homes and mobile homes. Allowing the proposed single -wide manufactured home as an accessory dwelling does not appear to be incompatible with uses and development in the area Notice of the public hearing was sent to all owners of properties located within 200 feet of the site and the SWLRUP and Alexander Road Neighborhood Associations. 3. ON SITE DRIVES AND PARKING: The existing single family residence and proposed accessory dwelling are required to have one, on -site parking space.
